RIP Ray Emery. Thanks for helping make that 2013 Blackhawks team so unbelievably special
Emery was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the fourth-round of the 2011 NHL draft. In his 11 year NHL career, the “Razor” was recognized for his aggressiveness, which helped the Senators reach the Stanley Cup Final in 2007 and helped the Blackhawks win the Cup in 2013, where he was a backup to goalie Corey Crawford. He amassed a career NHL record of 145-86-28 with 16 shutouts.
RIP Ray.
